Paris 3

Today, the Louvre is one of the largest and richest museums in the world, a record holder in popularity and variety of exhibitions. The glass pyramid of impressive size, flaunting in Napoleon’s courtyard, in the heart of the Louvre, is one of the most recognizable symbols of Paris and France. The pyramid of the Louvre consists of 70 triangular and 603 diamond—shaped segments (thickness - 21 mm) and weighs about 180 tons.
